[color=a187be]"I... uh"[/color] His commentary caught her quite by surprise. He was concerned about her fertility? About her development of ulcers or a stroke? She easily passed off the last two as an actual concern that she might miss work or need replacing altogether which would be very costly for the company. The first she couldn't make sense of though. [color=a187be]"I don't ever plan on having children sir. That's not a concern of mine." [/color] She smiled awkwardly, hoping that the comment and the gesture settled some sort of concern in his mind. If he were really picking through every moment of her file he would notice for sure that she technically clocked in yesterday afternoon and had never clocked out, pouring in to the very moment that she was sitting before him now. [color=a187be]"I'm quite alright really. I don't vacation really... I uhm... well I'm very dedicated to my work sir. Especially now when we have positions that need to be filled. I'm needed here, and I enjoy my job. I'm happy here I assure you." [/color] 

She wasn't sure where he was going with all of this, but she had a building fear in her gut that he was going to force her to take vacation time. She had no idea what she would do with time off. She had nowhere to go, no one to see. The thought of sitting alone with herself for days on end was enough to make her consider begging to be medicated instead... though she hated the thought of meds too. Most of them included the potential side effect of "weight gain". She worked so hard to maintain her shape and still had pounds that she wanted to lose. She couldn't afford unnecessary weight from some anxiety medication. But if he required it of her, she supposed she would simply have to exercise more and eat less to accommodate it. She'd rather that that be sent home. 

[color=a187be]"Is there, anything else sir? I did leave my partner with the interviewees. It can be difficult to remember all of the files and conduct the interviews appropriately without the prompting of another to guide the questioning session as needed. I should really get back as soon as possible."[/color] She didn't want to rush him, but at the same time he seemed to be dilly dallying, and she didn't want to give him anymore time to consider or lecture her on her need for a vacation. She wanted to remind him she was needed here and now, and get out of his sight as soon as possible.
